The award, with one base year and three option periods, and worth up to $49 million, was made under the U.S. Navy's SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e) contract vehicle. With the award, CACI continues to expand its acquisition and program management support business with DARPA and the Department of Defense. The mission of IPTO is to develop the next generation of computational and information processing systems and technologies. These cutting-edge systems and technologies will provide DoD with the highly advanced information processing capabilities necessary for military information dominance. CACI's expertise in program, financial, and acquisition management, along with its scientific technical assistance capability, has enhanced the ability of DARPA scientists and researchers to focus on their primary mission of identifying, assessing, and advancing new technology research and development.
